hydrangea

Past its prime, and trimmed since I snapped it's portrait.

Triplets

Taken from the car in the drive-thru of my favorite coffee place.

ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Stopped for coffee on my way out of town to go see my Grandmother in the hospital. It was the only thing that went right all day. The day was grey, and foggy, and cold.

And cruel.

At 88, she has been diagnosed with cancer, and quite a bit of it. The doctors give her maybe a month. Grandma has not been healthy for a very very long time. Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Congestive Heart Failure. We are not shocked to know she is dying, but we are little surprised by what is the final blow. We are shedding our selfish tears for our loss, and we are shedding not so selfish tears for my Grandfather, who is not ready to let go.

finally finished

Lovely little book. You can get your own copy here, http://www.dreamchasersmedia.com/ . Tell R.G. a vox neighbor sent you!

Breakfast of Champions

Hubby and I can damage a piece of chocolate cake pretty fast....
Nothing left but a crumb, if we had been home I'd have licked the plate.

Innkeepers Coffee

The chairs at the local coffee place, sometimes a seat is hard to come by inside.

yep, I'm hot

Two of my favorite "everyday" things. When I can't afford expensive coffee, McD's will do, and I can't be without my shiny pink phone, it is my alarm clock and my watch, and my life line to the Hubby.

and all is right with the world.

The lovely foamy swirl atop a Breve from our local coffee house. Its hard for the day to go wrong when you follow Church with that.


Throw in a slice of carrot cake to share with the hubby....
.... who got the last bite...
.. and hot chocolate for the kids..
.. and the morning is Complete.

I'm a stalker...

I have more photos of this wall than I really should have. It is in the alley of my favorite coffee place. If I can afford to get a coffee I enjoy my time in the drive thru looking at the old Pillsbury sign. I love the riot of colors on the bricks. One day I sat across the street and shot pictures as people used the drive thru.. boy did I get some looks that day.
